Best phone I've ever owned

DeadZools has owned it for less than year before publishing this review

I can't say I've ever owned a "high-end" phone before but I have used a few and this thing cuts it real close. I've yet to be disappointed with its buttery smooth interface and wonderful multi-tasking abilities. LG has thrown in a lot of features that some people didn't have access to until Lolipop came out at the end of the year, notification pop ups are a must have and despite what others have said a quick flip of the notification center and you can adjust the screen to see in sunlight in a half a second, I've had no problems using this thing in the daylight. All I can complain about is the somewhat low storage space and after a while the battery seems to be draining a bit faster, which really isn't a problem with how quickly it charges. If you have a low budget and need a mid-high end phone, I highly recommend this beauty!

Build quality9/10I've dropped this thing a hundred times and it's barely scuffed, it doesn't bend, and it feels nice and solid in your hand.

Reception9/10Out of the 6-9 months I've had this phone I've had maybe 2 dropped calls.

Call quality10/10Voices come in crystal clear, and the speaker phone works very well.

Internet10/10At least with MetroPCS this phone has some serious speed, clocking at up to 12mbps in a rural area, not bad!

Multimedia9/10It's got two speakers directly next to eachother, sound quality isn't the greatest but it's pretty loud and if you don't have headphones or a stereo to plug in to it does the job.

Camera9/10The photos that I take with this phone look great, its very quick at taking pics and the videos don't look half bad for not being HD.

UI speed10/10

Everyday usage10/10I've yet to be disappointed with this phone, it's almost always stuck in my hand or very close by.

Text input9/10The swype is accurate but I've used Google Keyboard since it came out so I can't remember how the standard keyboard performs other than it's quick, and it didn't piss me off.

Display10/10I love the 5" span of the screen, vibrant colors and brightness, its almost too bright! Even at 0% it's slightly overwhelming at night.

Battery9/10The battery seems to have weakened but I use it all day everyday so I have nothing much to complain about. It charges SO fast, going from around 15% to 100% within less than 2 hours.

Pros

Fast, snappy, and pretty

Runs Android KitKat very well

Durable

Some apps move to SD unlike a lot of new phones

Cons

Low storage space (only 4 GB)

Could have a nicer front facing camera

Only supported by MetroPCS and Cricket without paying for a sim unlock

Biggest problem is being unable to read screen in the outdoors, or in the car during the day, etc. No automatic adjustment for brightness, and not easy to adjust it. I'm impressed with it, otherwise. We haven't downloaded much, yet, just learning to use it. So far, so good, besides the display problem

Build quality8/10Feels solid in the hand.

Reception8/10Not sure which reception this is.

Call quality8/10

Internet5/10For some reason, half the time it says no connection, and my cheapo phone gets a good one.

Multimedia6/10We haven't tried this yet, had to put a rating

Camera4/10My cheapo phone has an edit button on the taken photo. Can't easily edit a photo, that I can tell yet.

UI speed6/10We aren't sure what this means, but had to put a rating

Everyday usage7/10Mom still curses at it, as she is still learning to use it.

Text input5/10Mom just got a stylus, and hope that makes it easier to type text.

Display4/10Cannot read much at all when out of doors, and in our area in Texas, it's often sunny. Even hiding in shade doesn't seem to help, so the phone ain't much use then.

Overall: Great!(Especially for money)

This phone is good and bad for many reasons! If your looking for a durable, sleek, and a great priced phone fast, then this is the phone for you. It has a great build quality, okay phone reception, great long lasting battery, fast internet for a 4G network, and a fast 4.4.2 kit-kat processor!!!

Build quality9/10Plastic but strong!!

Reception8/10It's okay but its not like other high end phones.

Call quality9/10You can hear the person on the other line clearly.

Internet8/10Good for 4G but clearly not as good as a 4GLTE network!!

Multimedia8/10Listening through head phones is okay but it could be much better!!!

Camera8/10Not as good as older models of this phone but it still a good, stable camera.

UI speed9/10The speed is almost as fast as some 4GLTE phones but it's really only 4G.

Everyday usage9/10It's very fast when calling and receiving notifications.

Text input10/10The keyboard on this phone is the best keyboard from any lg phone!!!

Display9/10Can be a tiny bit better in the sunlight and when you look close at pictures, you can see some pixelation..

Battery9/10Really great long lasting battery, but not a 10 just yet!!!

Cons

Good Phone, Great Price!

The LG Optimus L70 is a surprisingly nifty phone at a great price. The most interesting features about this phone is the KnockON codes and the multitasking windows. The battery life is a shocker, as it gets me through a whole day without charging. The fluidity of the phone is great due to the midrange processor, but it can tend to slow down with more aggressive use. Be careful with phone storage... As there's 1.2 GB available to the user, which isn't much today. Data speeds did just fine, regardless of the phone having HSPA+ 21.

Cons

Not a bad phone, but...

It's a good phone. It's fast, games works smooth, perfect format and cheaper than other phones. But the internal storage is too small! I had warnings about the freaking storage, so I've deleted apps -_-

Cons

Upsetting Upgrade!!!!

smplyj has owned it for less than 3 months before publishing this review

I just upgraded to this phone and dont get me wrong its really nice and I love the size BUT the internal memory is REALLY low and it keeps warning about low storage. I have a 32gb sd card but you cant move apps, music, and photos to the sd card and its pissing me off!!!! Cant download too many apps or even update weather without low storage warning popping up. Im super upset! What phone cant move music and photos to the sd card! Not worth it!!!!
